Technology can enhance and engage students in many exciting ways. Students love technology. I hope to use that excitement to introduce pedometer use into my current curriculum and get students accustomed to counting steps and activity time. My vision is to use a class set of pedometers with one focus class to track student's activity time, steps taken, and distance traveled to reinforce good habits to meet personal fitness goals. We will then use that data to determine calories burned. Many smart phones come equipped with step counters. My hope is to introduce the proper use of step counters in my class so that students can use that knowledge with their own resources at home with their families. National Physical Education Standard 5 says, "The physically literate individual recognizes the value of physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression and/or social interaction." Having these tools will not only help us meet our goal of recognizing the value of physical activity, but will increase moderate-to-vigorous physical activity while at school and improve their physical performance at home.
